Although the article was last updated on 12th May so you would have expected it to be removed then...

BBC One's coverage, which will start at 6am with Breakfast live from their studio on the banks of the Clyde, and run until just after 11:40pm.


Apparently BBC Breakfast will be LIVE from Glasgow during the commonwealth games, is this news or was this already announced?

It seemed obvious when it was announced Bill & Susanna would be presenting games coverage. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/commonwealth-games - Obviously it won't be Susanna now.

It was just on Reporting Scotland, Lisa Summers outside Pacific Quay saying "something along the lines of "flatpack containers will be brought in onto this wasteland, overlooking The Hydro"

It has indeed been public knowledge for some time. It emerged at least few months ago when the BBC submitted a planning application to Glasgow city council. There are plans online somewhere but I can't find them. Its the shipping containers we saw at the Olympics. Theyll be located on the spot of land between stv and BBC Scotland. The plans showed a studio for BBC one (which I guess will include Breakfast and The One Show), BBC Scotland, BBC World, BBC regions, and a few others including a couple of radio studios. The interesting note is that the studios are staying until late September, which clearly means they will also be used for the referendum. Makes sense practically. Its politically quite sensitive as there is often a sense in Scotland of Glasgowcentric coverage., and the count is taking place in Edinburgh.

Going just slightly off topic do we know if it is an overnight count or next day?

It's all systems go down on either side of PQ. The old Festival Park is getting redeveloped and Premier Inn is putting a new hotel in between the BBC and Capital FM. So the Govan Road side of the Clyde is going to be pretty chock a block with buildings and hardly any room for anything else.

Simon McCoy on Breakfast with Naga this morning. Makes a nice change for once...

I see they've finally changed the group shot of presenters on the BBC Breakfast website page to remove Susanna Reid.

She was still there for a few weeks after GMB started, although they had removed her from the list on the linked page of bios.
